Network communication requirements for using Teradek Encoders with Core

Overview

Teradek encoders and apps require the following network ports for use with the Core management system.

Inbound Network Connections

No incoming connections are needed from either the Core management system or a Sputnik server.

Outbound Network Connections

Outbound connections are initiated by the Teradek encoder or app, and arrive at the remote server on the indicated port.

If the Teradek encoder or app is behind a firewall, and that firewall blocks or filters outbound traffic, the necessary ports must be open to allow communication and streaming.

80 (TCP) : Communication with the Core management system.

443 (TCP) : Communication with the Core management system.

5111 (TCP) : Communication with a Core-deployed Sputnik server, or a self-hosted Sputnik server using the default port. Also used by encoders or apps streaming video with the default TCP protocol. This includes Cube + Bond (original), Bond II, Bond Pro, or Cube 600 / 700 / 800 series. This also includes a standalone Cube Encoder, Slice Encoder, or T-RAX Encoder.

5111 (UDP) : Used by encoders capable of using the UDP protocol for streaming video to a Sputnik server.

Streaming with the UDP protocol is available on a Cube + Bond (original), Bond II, Bond Pro, or 600 / 700 / 800 series encoders, and the streaming protocol is changed from the default TCP to UDP.

This does not apply to a standalone Cube (1st or 2nd gen), Slice encoder (1st gen), T-RAX encoder, or apps.

1024-65535 (TCP) : Communication and video streaming to an On Demand Sputnik server from devices and apps using the default TCP protocol. If On Demand Sputnik servers are not being used, this port range is optional. See this article for additional information.

1024-65535 (UDP) : Communication and video streaming to an On Demand Sputnik server from devices which support the UDP protocol. If On Demand Sputnik servers are not being used, this port range is optional. See this article for additional information.
